Daniel Lacalle warns that high liquidity is concealing underlying economic stresses, with inflation driven by policy and supply constraints. Europe's energy crisis, exacerbated by inadequate preparation and geopolitical tensions, is increasing costs and undermining consumer confidence. Rapid money supply growth since 2021 is affecting asset prices and eroding purchasing power globally.
